Woodworking Crafts - An Exploding Battleship Toy, 1936

 

Published in the December, 1935 issue of Modern Mechanix, just in time for Christmas.  Readers were supposed to make and sell these things to unsuspecting parents, I suppose, but as Bill Watterson once put it, the opportunities for mayhem would have been unlimited.

  1. More fun than repeatedly shooting your little brother with a Daisy air rifle.

  2. But it is as much fun as the drum kit Grandpa got your sister? Only to find out a)sister has NO sense of rhythm and b)Mom refuses to allow it in the house?
